The 27-story Watermark LIC, the latest luxury apartment tower to sprout from the Long Island City streetscape, is almost completely rented.
Just six of the building’s 127 units are available, according to Watermark LIC’s official website — and if you’re interested in renting one of them, get ready to shell out quite a bit of money each month.
A second-floor studio apartment goes for just over $2,200 a month, while a one-bedroom unit on the fourth-floor can be yours for $3,277 a month.
Twining Properties began constructing the 27-story skyscraper located at 27-19 44th Drive in January of 2016 after securing $70 million in financing. Curbed reported that a lottery was held in May of this year for the building’s 34 designated affordable apartments.
On its website, the developers behind Watermark LIC tout the building as redefining “the contemporary boutique rental residence through the lens of superior design and well-crafted amenities.” Each unit features floor-to-ceiling windows with insulated glass to reduce noise. The building itself is on track to receive LEED Silver certification for eco-friendly construction.
Curbed noted that the building will feature 24-hour concierge service, a bike room, a rooftop gym, a landscaped garden and a “Sky Lounge and Deck” that will give visitors and residents an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline. It’s also a short walk to the nearby Court Square subway station and the Citicorp Building.
